Unbrick OnePlus 11 via Fastboot Commands

In this guide, we will show you the steps to unbrick your OnePlus 11 via Fastboot commands. When it comes to custom development, then the devices from OnePlus are always quite an active player in custom development. Be it for flashing custom/GSI ROMs, gaining administrative access by flashing Magisk patched boot, or welcoming a plethora of mods, the possibilities stand endless.

On the flip side though, there’s always a risk of things going south. Just a slight issue and your device might end up in a bootloop or bricked state. While the bricked state is always a cause of concern, but when it came to OnePlus, we always had the backing of the MSM Download Tool. However, we might have seen the last of that tool.

With that said, if your device is in a soft brick or bootloop state, then you don’t even need to interact with EDL Mode or the MSM Tool. Instead, you could unbrick your OnePlus 11 by flashing the stock firmware [after extracting payload.bin] via Fastboot commands. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.

Unbrick OnePlus 11 via Fastboot Commands

The below process will wipe off all the data from your device. So take a complete device backup beforehand by any means possible. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.

UPDATE: Oppo Flash Tool is now live for this device and it is highly recommended that you try out that method once [given below]. If that doesn’t work out then you may resume with the Fastboot Command method.

Unbrick OnePlus 11 using Oppo Flash Tool/MSM Download Tool

STEP 1: Install Android SDK

First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide to unbrick your OnePlus 10 Pro via Fastboot commands.

STEP 2: Download OnePlus 11 Fastboot ROM

Next up, download the stock firmware or Fastboot ROM for your device from the below link. OnePlus provides its firmware in payload.bin, which you need to extract in order to get hold of the partition files. I have already done that for a few firmware versions. So if your device has the same firmware/build installed, then you could directly download the Fastboot ROM [extracted payload] instead of the payload.bin. Or else move over to the next step to manually do this task.

STEP 3: Extract OnePlus 11 Payload.bin

If you have downloaded the Fastboot ROM, then you could skip this step. On the other hand, if you have a payload.bin firmware, then you will have to extract it first and get the resultant IMG files. To do so, you may refer to our guide on How to Extract OnePlus Payload.bin file. Once extracted, make sure to transfer all the files to the platform-tools folder.

STEP 4: Boot Bricked OnePlus 11 to Fastboot Mode

In most cases, a soft-bricked or boot-looped device might already be in the Fastboot Mode. However, if you are stuck in a bootloop, then long-press the Power key to turn it off. Then press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys (or Power and Volume Up in some devices) together to boot your device to Fastboot Mode.

However, if you are unable to power off the device, then let its battery drain out. Once that happens, connect it to the charger. Then as soon as it is about to boot up, use the Power and Volume Up/Down keys and it will straightaway boot to Fastboot Mode.

STEP 5: Format Device via Fastboot

1. Head over to the platform-tools folder where the extracted ROM is present.
2. Then go to its address bar, type in CMD in its address and hit Enter. This will launch the CMD window.
   
3. Now execute the below command to perform a factory reset (optional but recommended)

   fastboot -w

STEP 6: Flash OnePlus 11 Firmware in Fastboot Mode

Execute the below commands in the CMD window [that is opened in the platform-tools folder] to flash the partition file. Make sure to execute one command at a time. Furthermore, if you get an error, then don’t leave the process mid-way, rather move over to the next flashing command.

fastboot --set-active=a

fastboot flash --slot=all boot boot.img
fastboot flash --slot=all modem modem.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_vendor.img

STEP 7: Flash OnePlus 11 Firmware in FastbootD Mode

You will now have to flash the remaining firmware files in the FastbootD Mode. So type in the below command to boot your device to this mode

fastboot reboot fastboot

Now execute the below commands in the CMD window [one at a time] to flash the remaining files:

fastboot flash --slot=all abl abl.img
fastboot flash --slot=all aop aop.img
fastboot flash --slot=all aop_config aop_config.img
fastboot flash --slot=all bluetooth bluetooth.img
